Isle of Wight athlete Daisy Selway claimed her first championship medal at the Hampshire County Championships in Basingstoke over the weekend.

The event, featuring top athletes from Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Jersey, and Guernsey, saw Selway, in her inaugural championships, finish fourth in the 80m hurdles final, setting a personal best of 12.65 seconds.

Despite less-than-ideal conditions on day two, she recorded a time of 46.73 seconds in the 300m hurdles to secure a bronze medal.

In the same age group, 14-year-old Holly Taylor achieved personal bests in the 100m and 200m, progressing to the semi-finals in both.
